Welcome to the KOTH club, it was a true super car back in its day. Do not fear the rarity of finding engine parts for the car, if the car was well taken care of that engine is bulletproof. Take good care of the car and it’ll take good care of you, take it from someone that has driven/owned many different brands of cars, including Italian exotics, like Ferrari and Lamborghini, when I drive my 91 ZR1 it’s an unparalleled experience, I love it. Best of luck and happy motoring.

Having owned a 1990 ZR1 for nearly 18 years honestly I didn't really like the car very much. I was always afraid that if I ever had to repair it for what ever reason I would have to mortgage my life to afford the repairs. By the time I sold it I was old enough, (in my 70s) that I couldn't hardly get in and out of the car. AND that is the LAST Corvette I will ever own.

I think there were parts of this video that were lifted DIRECTLY from Jason Cammisa's Hagerty, especially in the first few minutes. Having said that, the side on shot on the ZR-1 at 1:23 is - BY FAR - the most amazing shot of a ZR-1 I've ever had the pleasure to watch. That was pretty awesome. And the sound of that engine and the stock exhaust is truly magical. Why anyone would want to change that exhaust is completely beyond me. The LT5 has a sound like no other engine ever built. And did you notice when you were revving it... No flames shooting out the exhaust... no backfiring. None of that stupid racer boy bullshit. Just a perfect sports car. Divine.

Very well made video here. The C4 was a vette of my youth so I had to own a few of them (still have one) and know them inside out. The ZR1 was very significant in it's time and that can't be understated enough. It was the first car to really restore the HP levels of the 60's and made the magazine rounds with those '89 media examples that Dave McLellan paraded out in Europe to great success. The way I remember it going down at the time was it took an extra model year to get them out to the public and that created a feeding frenzy where they were selling for much more than the sticker price selling around the six figure mark. I think what doomed them is they were late to market, the styling did not differentiate then enough from the base model (especially after 1991), and the introduction of the Dodge Viper. The Viper was so over the top with the 60's styling and power, it totally stole the thunder from the ZR1. A few other things was the GM power train division got complacent with the small block and the ZR1 gave them a wake up call to get in some development time in resulting in the LT1, LT4, and LS1. I got a L98 convertible running in the low 13's easy with minor modifications at PBIR raceway so the business case for the LT5 was probably not a good one. Videos are up on youtube somewhere. Lastly I own a Porsche 911 from this era and for a serious drivers machine, Chevy wasn't going to convert those buyers due to the poorly redesigned gauge cluster and the "sill" making the interior a less inviting space than the 911. The ZR1 lost money for all of those investment types but is a bargain today and a very special car. You have a keeper right there.

@clevlandblock 11 ай бұрын

My best friend bought a ZR1 new back in 92. He had Lingenfelter heads and tune put on it plus the cats are deleted. He gave me a ride from hell about 15 years ago and it was disgustingly fast. I know because I own a 2014 Shelby GT 500. He's let it just sit the last decade or so with a leaky water pump. He's lost interest in the car and knows its resale value is disappointing. I came close to buying a used 93 yellow ZR1 but got turned off by the price of powertrain parts, delaminating ZR1 windshields, the Tokyo by night instrument display, and Leggos dash assembly. The Zeds are an amazing period piece nonetheless and I hope they are treasured accordingly.

oh my, are those the original GS-C Goodyears on there? lol. People need to understand how dominant the C4 corvette was and im not talking the zr1, that speaks for itself. The C4 L98 was so dominant in racing , it got Kicked out of the Escort series. It was 29-0 vs the porsche 944 turbo. They had to create a series just for corvettes called the, " challenge series". It was hard to beat all around back in the day. John Lingenfelter was king. Mind you JOHN Lingenfelter. He would dominate with the open build corvettes all the motortrend , car & driver tests they would have in magazines. Honestly, since he passed, Lingenfelter is good but are NOT the same as they were when he was running things. Back then the seats were better than all the offerings from c5 and c6 and some levels of c7 vettes . Look at the adjustable articulation. I loved it . It was called the " Valet" key for the mere fact valet's were less likely to take it out and hammer the car.

Just to clarify, the C4 Corvette regardless of trim is filled with some of the cheapest plastics and materials known to man, which results in squeaks and rattles that drastically impact the impression of the car overall. Also, most car testing companies and facilities struggled to replicate the performance numbers GM claimed with the ZR-1, however the Porsche 911 Turbo not only met expectations it could actually exceed them in some cases. The Porsche 911 Turbo is simply a better car overall including quality materials with the reputation of over 28,000 race wins, a feat no GM product could achieve. Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier than to promote an American car that can actually compete with the Germans and Italians but GM never actually created that reality, they were too focused on profit initiatives. While the Cosworth LT-5 C4 ZR-1 was an improvement, it didn't have an impact on its competitors that provided more quality engineered super cars.

6k 😭 are you serious that’s wild

You should take those offers. They can go for less in good condition.

Where are you finding C4s starting at 2 grand? Ever since 2020 they've doubled in price.

Good luck rebuilding it if something breaks. Much like the 2005 ford gt. Theres no parts support anymore. So when it breaks and it will. Its a 90’s chevy. You’ll have a paper weight

Aside from the engine it’s 99% the same damn car as any c4 lmao and the lt5 is known to be pretty damn stout, there are plenty of people still getting use out of theirs, some with many many miles on their unopened engines

Why??? My C5 beat a 1994 ZR-1 3 straight times at the dragstrip, and my C5 was internally stock, with an A4 transmission.....

Yep. Do you know how old that car is? Expect problems for cars of that age, and it will show it's age.

Was going to grab a lt1 c4 for a fun extra car but all these old dudes in the southeast want 7k to 14k for their raggedy worn out c4's that are on dry rotted tires with peeled off paint. They sit unsold forever and just rot in the sun. It's a shame.
